Santa Barbara Courthouse Wedding

 

A top choice for many couples planning a wedding
on the South Coast, the Santa Barbara Courthouse is perhaps the city's most recognizable landmark. This circa-1929 structure illustrates the beauty of Spanish Revival architecture. A Santa Barbara Courthouse wedding provides the opportunity for amazing photos and a sense of magical nostalgia that is Old California.

 

This building still functions as a working courthouse and welcomes visitors to view its impressive details. Among them are murals, tile work, beamed ceilings, decorative painting, ornate woodwork, and wrought iron fixtures. Other notable features include manicured sunken gardens and a clock tower that affords amazing views of the city, ocean, and mountains. All this provides stunning backdrops for wedding photography. This completely unique venue is suitable for both small and large weddings. There are several gorgeous ceremony sites within the Sunken Gardens to choose from.  

Our Santa Barbara Courthouse wedding package is designed for up to 20 people. But can be expanded to accommodate more guests. Please contact us for further details.
